The stage is now set for the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with France preparing to take on Morocco in a highly anticipated matchup on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at Boston Stadium, which will be broadcast on FOX.
This encounter marks the first meeting between the two nations since the 2022 World Cup semifinals, where France emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Morocco.
France's most recent match in the round of 16 was a closely contested 1-0 victory over Paraguay, with Kylian Mbappé scoring the winning goal on a 70th-minute penalty. As the only team to have won all five of their matches in regulation, France boasts a tournament-best goal difference of +12, having won their previous four matches by multiple goals.
Mbappé's penalty against Paraguay extended his World Cup record to 11 knockout-stage goals, and he has scored half of France's 14 goals in the tournament.
Morocco, on the other hand, has made history by becoming the first African nation to reach two World Cup quarterfinals, four years after becoming the first African team to advance to the semifinals.
In their round of 16 match, Morocco defeated Canada 3-0, despite taking only five shots, to achieve their largest margin of victory at the World Cup. The Atlas Lions have scored a total of 10 goals in the tournament, matching the record for an African team at a single World Cup.
However, Morocco's preparations for the match have been impacted by the uncertain status of Ismael Saibari, who left the Canada match after 22 minutes due to a hamstring injury.
